Resident Study Guide

Welcome to the McGill Family Medicine Resident Study Guide!

There is noÌý"perfect" textbook in Family Medicine.ÌýThe goal of this study guide is to serve as aÌý"virtual" textbook centered around the College of Family Physicians Priority Topics and Key Features.

This project has been put together by Dr. Teresa Rudkin and Dr. Sarah Massoud. If you have any suggestions or interesting articles, or if you would like to get involved in developing new resident learning tools,Ìýplease contact us!
We can be reached by e-mail:Ìýteresa.rudkin [at] mcgill.ca ²¹²Ô»åÌýsarah.massoud [at] mcgill.ca (please use subject line RESIDENT STUDY GUIDE)

FM Learner is another resource for residents, developed by Dr. Kenjey Chan,Ìýthat includes notes on the 105ÌýTopics. To visit, click .

Clicking on the name of the each Priority Topic will take you to a PDF document that is a roadmap of the topic's Key Features with links to relevant and up to date articles that you can read to learn the content for that Key Feature. You DO NOT NEED to read every article to be prepared for the exam! We have included different styles of articles so that you can choose those that best suit your learning style.
